Abstract

Tetanus is uncommon in Korea due to the introduction of vaccination programs and advances in public health. A case of maternal tetanus occurred on the 9 day postpartum in a 29-yr-old woman, who had not received a 10-yr-booster of tetanus-diphtheria toxoid after receiving the primary series of tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccine. There has hitherto been no reports on maternal tetanus in Korea. This case illustrates that tetanus remains a medical problem, principally among non- and under-immunized adults. The only way to fully prevent this disease is to ensure adequate immunization in all adults.

摘要

由于疫苗接种计划的推行和公共卫生的进步，破伤风在韩国并不常见。一名29岁的女性在产后第9天发生了产妇破伤风，她在接种含破伤风类毒素的疫苗初种系列后，未接种破伤风-白喉类毒素的10年加强针。此前韩国尚无产妇破伤风的报告。该病例表明，破伤风仍然是一个医学问题，主要存在于未免疫和免疫不足的成年人中。完全预防这种疾病的唯一方法是确保所有成年人都获得充分免疫。
